Additional Information About Your SRS
How the Automatic Seat Belt
Tensioners Work
Your Honda has automatic seat belt
tensioners for added protection
during a moderate to severe frontal
collision.
If your airbags inflate, the tensioners
immediately tighten the front seat
belts to help hold the occupants in
place. The belts will remain tight
until you unbuckle them in the
normal way.
How the SRS Indicator Light
Works
The purpose of the SRS
light is to alert you to a
potential problem with your
Supplemental Restraint System.
When you turn the ignition ON (II),
this indicator will light up briefly
then go out. This tells you that the
system is working properly.
However, if the light comes on at any
other time, you should have the
system checked by your dealer. For
example:
If the SRS indicator light does not
come on after you turn the ignition
ON (II).
If the light stays on after the
engine starts.
• If the light comes on or flashes on
and off while you drive.
If you see any of these indications,
your airbags and seat belt tensioners
may not deploy when you need them.
See your Honda dealer as soon as
possible.
Driver and Passenger Safety
SRS
Ignoring the SRS indicator light
can result in serious injury or
death if the airbags do not
inflate when needed.
Have your vehicle checked by a
dealer as soon as possible if
the SRS light alerts you to a
potential problem.
